Confection is the fifth studio album by French musician Sébastien Tellier, released on 14 October 2013 by Record Makers.
Background Confection was partially inspired by the death of Tellier's grandmother. Some of the music on the album was intended to appear on a film soundtrack, but ended up not being used. In an interview with artistxite, Tellier noted: "You can say my grandmother's death as well as this nonexisting soundtrack had an impact on "Confection". To me this has been a super strange situation. I was full of love for my grandmother and full of dedication to this soundtrack; Confection is the result of both of these emotional conditions."
Unlike Tellier's previous albums, Confection is a mostly instrumental album, with Tellier saying he conceived it as a film soundtrack.
Critical reception Confection was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 68, based on 12 reviews.
